MY REVIEW: Merlin TSM MMM BME
"I think it was the several insults more than the gushing review that prompted the tone of several of the replies."Yep, looking back at the replies by the OP, I see he trashed my system. "Cornhuskers" indeed. I will put these "Cornhuskers" up agai... 
Vandy or Maggy?
What is a tuneful base? Is this something the amplifer perches upon? Does it enhance the music?Vandersteen and Magnepan are two very different sounds. One is laid back and forgiving and isn't fussy about placement or ancillary equipment. The other... 
adagios vs veenas
I think the VTL is a fine amp. I am not much on class d amps, I bet the VTL wins the day.Shakey

Use Your Own Ears
"and have owned everything from Klipsch to Wilson Audio"You make it sound as though one is chopped liver and the other is prime rib.I have heard a few Wilson speakers and owned one. There are Klipsch models I would take over some Wilsons on any gi...

To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen
"I never liked any Vandersteen's. I always come away feeling like I drank a warm cup of water on a hot day when I listen to Vandersteen speakers. They try so hard to not offend that everything they do is so totally mediocre."My sentiments exactly!... 
Klipsch Chorus II or Forte II - Secondary system
I started with a pair of cornwalls that surprised me so much that I sold a pair of Reference 3a grand veenas. I have since moved on to a pair of cornscalas and could not be happier. Horns done right are VERY hard to beat.I predict that a pair of h... 
To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen
Vandersteen has never been my cuppa either. I like something with more jump factor and the feeling of live musicians in the room. Their top of the line might do it (although the original Model 5 didn't overly impress when it first came out) but I ...
